Marketing a Geriatrics Physicians Practice
The task of promoting a geriatrics physicians practice has to receive the highest priority in your organization. But what marketing techniques and strategies are successful in the current economy?
Multiple marketing factors affect bottom line profitability. Yet one feature seems to be part of the shared DNA of all effective marketing programs.
Top performers habitually integrate sound marketing concepts with market demands.
Marketing Expertise
Don't have a background in marketing? That shouldn't stop you from taking a larger promotional role in your company by educating yourself about today's most effective marketing concepts. Entrepreneurs and leaders of geriatrics physicians practices can't afford to invest large sums of money in untested strategies or first-time marketers. When in doubt, tap into either an internal or external knowledge base to design your company's marketing strategy.
Social Media Monitoring
Brand advocacy is a buzzword in marketing circles. What does it mean? Using consumer-oriented platforms to encourage customers to create user-generated content about your products and company, typically through social media. Social media can quickly go negative, turning brand advocacy into "badvocacy", a scenario in which consumers and users create content deriding your company and your products. Most geriatrics physicians practices are especially vulnerable to negative exposure through social media. To counter negative social media, you'll need to monitor your brand's online presence and enter the conversation, redirecting negative discussions toward more positive topics.
Email Campaigns
Email campaigns make use of the fact that most consumers and businesses receive information electronically. More than 50% of all email users check their inbox six or more times a day. What does that mean for your company? It means the odds are in favor of email campaigns actually connecting with customers. In many geriatrics physicians practices, collecting and updating the email addresses of qualified recipients isn't cost-effective. Premium mailing list providers can mitigate the cost and hassle of in-house list generation. More importantly, providers typically give business owner an assurance that their lists are accurate and up-to-date.
